# Svelte
FlowDrop is built with Svelte 5, so in a Svelte app you use its components
directly — no mount API needed.

## 1. Install

<CodeGroup>

```bash npm
npm install @flowdrop/flowdrop @iconify/svelte @xyflow/svelte
```

```bash pnpm
pnpm add @flowdrop/flowdrop @iconify/svelte @xyflow/svelte
```

```bash yarn
yarn add @flowdrop/flowdrop @iconify/svelte @xyflow/svelte
```

</CodeGroup>

## 2. Drop in the editor

```svelte
<script>
  import { App } from '@flowdrop/flowdrop/editor';
  import { createEndpointConfig } from '@flowdrop/flowdrop/core';
  import '@flowdrop/flowdrop/styles';

  const endpointConfig = createEndpointConfig('/api/flowdrop');
</script>

<App
  {endpointConfig}
  onAfterSave={async (workflow) => console.log('Saved:', workflow.id)}
/>
```

## SvelteKit

FlowDrop is browser-only. In SvelteKit, guard the editor so it never renders
during SSR:

```svelte
<script>
  import { browser } from '$app/environment';
  import { App } from '@flowdrop/flowdrop/editor';
  import { createEndpointConfig } from '@flowdrop/flowdrop/core';
  import '@flowdrop/flowdrop/styles';

  const endpointConfig = createEndpointConfig('/api/flowdrop');
</script>

{#if browser}
  <App {endpointConfig} />
{/if}
```

<Note>
  **FlowDrop needs a backend.**

  It serves nodes and stores workflows. Point `endpointConfig` at your API, or
  [run a ready-made server](/start).
